SUNLAND PARK, N.M. — The Sunland Park Fire Department has added a new piece of equipment to its fleet, taking delivery of a Pierce Enforcer 100-foot Mid-Mount Ascendant Tower, a specialized apparatus designed to enhance fire suppression and rescue operations.
City officials, including Mayor Javier Perea and Councilor Raul Telles, were on hand to view the new truck, which represents a significant investment in public safety infrastructure for the growing community.
Tower ladder trucks, such as the newly acquired apparatus, provide elevated access for firefighters during structure fires, rescues, and other emergency situations.
